Ethereal Plain: Right away, the cinematic soundscape has my full attention! The harmonic choices are not the most common, which really helps with the otherworldly feel! My favorite part is the alien-like vocals at the end that seem to morph in the outro.
Fields of Ether: This track is really soothing. There is a sense about it that it could possibly be played backwards to create a brand new sound, which I think maybe comes from the lightly pulsing pads. I like the chords and melody you chose!
No Longer Here: The build-up of this track feels like a countdown to blast off. I like the long crescendo as the overall shape of this track. There is a lot of emotion packed into this track with the tension-filled chords and the heavy epic drums. This track is my favorite!
The Reach: The piano playing the two notes in the background a major 7th apart give this track an alien-like, but also a foreboding sound. The overdrive effect is really cool, and I also like that you chose to return to the reverby piano to finish off your OST.
Overall: I think this is a creative, but also very appropriate interpretation of the theme which surprisingly hasn’t been too common from the submissions that I have seen. You captured the space/alien sound and these 4 tracks together work really well together to create a cohesive soundtrack that also tells a story. Well done and thank you for sharing!
